7 DIY Holiday Gift Ideas for Mom of a Baby Girl

November 23, 2017 By Chie

girls apron DIYI have recently been doing a much needed overhaul of my site. My site is finally mobile friendly! You don’t have to pinch in to zoom when you are looking from your phone. I’m very excited about that:) My new theme is from Lovely Confetti – Christina has many beautiful, romantic and modern WordPress themes. As I was making the updates, I flipped through the old blog posts and I thought it might be fun to take a look back in my archives and showcase some fun gifts I made in the past. Since I have daughters, most projects have a girl focus, so it would be great to give to mom of girls for upcoming Holiday. First up is this little ruffle apron. I made it when Kiko was two but she still wears it to do tea parties or when she does cooking lessons at her daycare. nursing cape tutorial

I made this for my friend as a gift and it took her through her entire nursing period! It is so easy to make. The tutorial comes with an easy-to-follow diagram.Deer head tutorialGreat addition to kid’s room wall. When you look for deer head decor in stores, it is quite expensive but you can make your own with  dollar store clay and a stick from the park! DIY silk eyemaskHow about gifting a handmade silk eye mask for a new mom? It might come in handy when taking a nap with her newborn. plaid wool skirt for little girlThis little plaid skirt is a great project for a sewing beginner. You only need a small amount of fabric, and it is all straight sewing! DIY tutorial how to make a diaper cakeIn this post, I wrote about how to make a diaper cake and use embroidery chain stitch to make a card. Last but not least, here is a post on daisy print little girl’s dress. I also made a kimono cardigan using the same fabric.

Christmas 2015

December 29, 2015 By Chie

Santa shaped strowberriesMerry Christmas! Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. We had some parties and enjoyed hanging out with friends and family. One of the highlight was that we got together with my sister’s family, brother’s family and parents. This was the first time for us since we all lived far apart until this year. We gathered at my sister’s house and ate a lot of food like sushi, mashed potatos, cake…not traditional American Christmas dinner yet yummy nonetheless. After that we explored Shinjuku Gyoen (新宿御苑). This winter has been surprisingly warm, so we got to see Cherry blossoms in December!

Andy and I also celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary. We went to a local bar for our night out, but will be officially celebrating in late January when we go to Kuala Lumpur. We like to travel during the off season since it’s cheaper and less crowded.

In designing these pieces, my focus was on translating the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese textiles into contemporary, wearable styles.

• The Obi wrap skirt, reimagined for the modern wardrobe.
• The playful Meisen rompers, breathing new life into vintage silk.
• The unlined statement jacket, featuring a striking sleeve silhouette.
